Did I Notice Your Book?

I'm participating in the Did I Notice Your Book Blog Hop which began with Ciara Knight

This is the first time I've participated in this and I'm looking forward to the response and seeing how this works!

With all the new tools out
there to monitor book sales and blurbs mentioned about their books, we are highlighting a new book each week. I’ll post it in the morning. If
by the end of the day that author finds her
book on this post I want her or him to tell us how they discovered it;
word of mouth through the close network of writers, a Yahoo group
mention, or through some new fangled Google tool.

Now, how will I choose this
book each week? It will be a book that caught my attention. As a
reader, I will keep an eye out for something that either provoked me to
read the blurb, look at the author’s blog, or purchase said book.

Before I reveal my choice I want to clarify that this author has no idea that I’ve chosen his/her book!

The book I noticed is Gifts of Grace by Lynn Bulock

When Carl Brenner saved a struggling widow and her small children from
spending Christmas in a cold, ramshackle farmhouse, he'd had no idea how
his lonely life would be forever changed. The storekeeper may have
given Grace Mallory a fresh start and renewed her faith in God, but she
made his house into a home.

One filled with laughter, singing and
the best home cooking in all of Missouri. And now Carl prayed for God's
gift of grace once more. For how else would he ever find the key to
unlock Grace's precious heart?

I noticed this book on eHarlequin.com. The story interested me because it is the classic story of a woman in need, being rescued and hopefully a happily ever after for all.

I'm so excited you are participating, Christy. I LOVE Christmas reads, so this one is a must for me. BTW - My apologies Emery Lee's link was changed last night to her new blog. If someone stops by here and would like to see the historical fiction category go to http://georgianjunkie.wordpress.com. I can't wait to see if Lynn finds her book here.

I've always enjoyed reading historical novels. As a child I actually imagined living in the mid 1800s. My grandmother fed my imagination by supplying me with hoop skirts and costumes of the age. She also granted me endless hours typing on her electric typewriter. I fell in love with Gone With The Wind and imagined myself writing my own book one day.
I'm currently dabbling with Time Travel. I've renewed an old manuscript by adding the Time Travel element. I was curious to see how it would be received and I'm happy to report my manuscript The Bridge Between is a finalist in the Romance Through The Ages Contest!
The first round judges were kind and generous in their review of the manuscript. It takes time to read pages of someone else's work and give your honest opinion. I appreciate the feedback I received and have considered it as I move forward in completing the revision.
Check back for more updates. And until then, write on!

There's a song that starts out with these words it's been a while. I love the song. It's by a rock band and it's a ballad/rocker song...

Of course the name of the band has completely left my mind at the moment. If anyone knows the band I'm talking about, feel free to supply me the information.

For me, it has been a while since I've written on this blog. It's been about as long since I've written on a manuscript. 2012 proved to be a good year, full of changes and full of challenges for me. I believe it is the combination of these changes that caused me to lose my focus and to slip away from writing.

I miss writing. I have scenes in my head but when I come to the computer, nothing seems right. I keep telling myself that I can't edit a blank page, yet, the page remains blank...

As we go into the new year, I'm optimistic that my old self will return. That I'll rise early and write. That the issues I dealt with in 2012 will dissipate.

Hello, 2016!
I may be about 15 days late in greeting the new year via this blog, but I waited to write as I wanted my first post of the new year to be meaningful.
And today we're celebrating.
About 8 years ago, I returned to my day job after taking a long maternity leave. I'm sure I've written about being a stay at home mom after my daughter was born. While I was glad to have a job to return to, I missed being at home with my child. But I held my head high, blessed to have an income when many others may not. I returned to work and was reunited with many old friends. I also met many new people. Employees come and go with my company as I'm sure they do with yours. We move from office to office and from state to state. Change is the norm. Embrace it, or be miserable. I like to be happy so I embrace.
Sherrie was one of the new people I met. She wasn't new to the company but was one of those folks who was mobile. Sherrie and I worked on the team I rejoined. Working i…
